The LanXPLORER Pro is a handheld tester for the troubleshooting, analysis and diagnosis of problems in Ethernet networks, devices and cabling. It can access networks using copper, fibre and WiFi interfaces

The instrument can offer all of the functions of the NaviTEK NT Pro tester plus the following:

The instrument can perform tests in-line on copper networks (on fibre networks the tester can only be used at an end point). In-line copper tests include:

QOS of VOIP phones using SIP

Monitoring Ethernet traffic between two devices to diagnose problems

Identify top 10 talkers and listeners when troubleshooting bandwidth consumption

Traffic stats

VLAN detection

PoE monitoring (power used)

In addition to using the WiFi 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n interface to connect to and troubleshoot the network the LanXPLORER Pro can perform a WiFi site survey:

NETMAP performs a scan of the entire network to identify all active devices by IP address, MAC address and host name which can be saved and compared to future NETMAPs using the NETVERIFY function

Identifying sources of network conflicts such as duplicate IP addresses

Detection of devices infected with malware that are creating broadcast storms

PoE/PoE+ load testing

In addition to the above tests the instrument performs all of the NaviTEK NT Pro functions including the physical wiring wiremap check between a display and remote module. The wiremap routine checks the wiring schematic for faults such as crossed pairs, short circuits, opens, and split pairs. The length of the cable is also measured (or distance to fault)A tone generator function allows simple cable tracing to be performed (the kit includes a 62-164 amplifier probe)

The instrument features the Ideal Lifejack RJ45 inserts: when the test interface is worn or damaged you can simply replace it, extending the life of the instrument

Up to 7,500 results can be stored. The WiFi adaptor allows results (pdf or csv files) to be transferred using the free Ideal AnyWARE app to your preferred storage platform (email, ftp, cloud etc). Alternatively you can transfer results to a USB device if you prefer

Three choices of result template are available (summary, brief and full) and can include company name, operator and logo along with job information

To interface with fibre networks please buy an SFP to suit the system under test

The Ideal AnyWARE app is a free download

A set of additional wiremap remotes can be ordered to speed up testing of passive cabling
